Things that go bump.....

Helloooo, ooh feels like ages since I've blogged something!! Haven't really known what to make since I have more birthday cards made than Clintons and not getting into the christmas swing yet... apart from the 1 -2christmas cards I have made - will really need to start getting a wiggle on there. But I saw the title of a challenge over at Loopy Lindseys - and new I had the perfect image, I've had it coloured in for ages but then not really known what to do with it - even now I've made the card I'm not sure when I will use it - hmmm - maybe next halloween for the boys. Anyway, here is the card:

The image is a Dustin Pike freebie, coloured with pro-markers, I have cut out the under the bed bit and matted it onto black card. The purple paper was a freebie in one of the card magazines (this is the first time I have ever used any of the free papers but it was a nice matt one) and then just stuck gold stars on that I saved from when I used my Martha Stewart star punch on a previous card.

I love it! What a great image and coloured beautifully. The little guy certainly would have gone "bump" in the night if he fell off that bed! This worries me as BD is going into a high bed on the weekend. Could be messy!linds xoh yeah, thanks for joining us at, oh gosh which one was it? Ah, that's right Fab nd Funky this week!

Fab card! Love the colours you've used on it. I've just discovered the wonderfulness of martha punches (yes waaay behind the times I am...) Mum bought some border punches last week at the Crafts for Christmas event and they're great little gadgets!! I may have to 'borrow' them from her for a bit of experimentation....!Thanks too for the lovely comment you left me, almost up n about now...the boredom's been the worst bit!!Have a fab weekendBH x
